Cystitis Etiology

Cystitis etiology

        See, if there is one thing that everyone agrees on when talking about cystitis it must be that the cystitis etiology is pretty clear and straightforward. The only thing that one might ask is what does cystitis etiology refer to. Well, the answer is rather simple: cystitis etiology is all about the cystitis causes. There are two main types of cystitis: one that is considered non - infectious and the more classical type, the infectious one.

        When talking about the most common type of cystitis, the pathogen agents are bacteria. Now, all sorts of bacteria can be a part of infectious cystitis etiology. However, not all of them are easy to threat. Here is the interesting part, though somewhat discouraging, about infectious cystitis: it is recurring in most patients. Why? Basically, the patient will be treated for a type of bacteria and he or she will develop immunity to that pesky little thing. However, there are many types of bacteria that cause cystitis. Once the body encounters one of the other, cystitis returns in full force.

       The main problem with non - infectious cystitis is that its etiology has remained sketchy for a long time. Fortunately, in recent years, the cause has been discovered. While it is not infectious, it is caused by bacteria. How is that possible? Well, the process through which bacteria enter the body is not a physiological one, but a mechanical one. For example, the cystitis that most pregnant women present with is non - infectious. In this case, the enlargement of the lumen of the urinary tract is the guilty party and the one that allows the bacteria to roam freely.
